A few kind words from recent clients who’ve trusted me to capture their moments.

"These are amazing, thank you so much!! As soon as we get a date for our ring to be ready we’ll be getting in touch to book our next session with you! 

Our families are very excited to see how your pictures turned out and I can’t wait to send these out to them."

"Chris has been an amazing photographer from the moment we contacted him. It was a last-minute request during our trip to Queenstown, and he was incredibly approachable and accommodating when we randomly came across his page. Chris showed us another beautiful aspect of Queenstown, capturing precious moments of my family and me. He shot some amazing family photos as well as individual couple shots, which brought us so much delight as we hadn’t had this opportunity since the day we said I do. We loved our session with him — the laughs we had, the memories we made — and we couldn’t have been any happier. Thank you, Chris Youell."

“I recommend Chris Youell Photography - we have used his services on two separate occasions. He captures our family so perfectly. He is easy for the children to follow his lead. He has a fast turnaround on the photos and the quality speaks for themselves. We will continue to use you Chris and we look forward to next year's annual family photos with you again. 5☆” - Kirstie

“We engaged Chris Youell Photography to produce commercial imagery for the unveiling of our new wedding venue at Millbrook Resort.

“Chris is an awesome human being and really easy to connect with. This made the photoshoot go really easy and it felt comfortable. We have two young kids and his interaction with them was really good and they did not feel camera shy which is remarkable since we struggle with them wanting to take photos. His turn around on the editting was ridiculously quick. He also listened to our ideas of a photo and we collaborated, not at all bossy. All in all this was a 5-star experience and the setting he chose was phenomenal.” - Steve

“Absolutely amazing photography with Chris for our engagement shoot. Chris made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun. He captured the most beautiful shots with the mountains and the lighting was phenomenal. Highly recommend for anyone wanting stunning photos in an effortless environment!” - Hannah

“We could not be happier with our wedding photos!! Working with Chris was an excellent experience from start to finish. He was professional, well-prepared, and made the entire day feel comfortable and easy, and on the big day he captured every special moment so beautifully. The photos are emotional, joyful, and full of life - we’re honestly obsessed.

From the little candid moments to the big celebrations, nothing was missed. So many of our friends and family have commented on how stunning the photos are. If you’re looking for a photographer who truly knows how to tell a love story through their lens, look no further. We will treasure these photos forever” - Sam & Mel

“Chris photographed our Peacock Lounge launch party at SkyCity Queenstown, and we were really pleased with the results. He captured the vibe of the night, the details, and our guests in a natural, unobtrusive way. Chris was professional, easy to deal with, and delivered a set of images we’ve been able to use across our marketing and internal comms. Would definitely recommend him for future events.”
